Connectivity! Verizon wireless signs are all over the place in Chicago. Saw a few of them, along with a Verison Wireless booth, at the airport as well. But, although I was supposedly in an EVDO area, my connection speeds were terrible. Much, much slower than an old 56k modem. No [...]

I made my first trip to Chicago this week. Nice town. Huge town. I had some bad and some good out there.
The Good:
The meeting I attended went really well
Switched from a regular laptop case to a backpack at an Apple store
Had the best New York Strip I ever had at a place [...]
That’s how long it took Valerie and her sister Marsha to walk the Cleveland Marathon today. Together they raised almost $4000 for the American Stroke Association and today they finally got to put all of the hard work and training to use. I couldn’t be more proud. The kids and I snuck [...]
It’s great to get away for a while, but it always feels good to get back home. Don’t get me wrong, I would definitely rather still be on vacation, but it feels good to be sitting here in my own house after traveling for 9 days.
We had a great time in Beaufort, SC visiting [...]

My trip to Phoenix is coming to an end so I thought I would check the weather forecast back home. Do you think people that live in Phoenix realize how good they have it?
Look at the difference between weather forcasts.
While checking out the nature in and around Asbury Woods in Erie, PA yesterday, we were able to get about 7 seconds of film that still needs researched, but looked to us a lot like Bigfoot.
I’ve posted the video HERE so you can judge for yourself.
The golf trip was fun and I’m glad to be home so I can sleep in my own bed. I golfed terribly; some of the highest scores ever. One thing is for sure - it’s not the clubs, it’s the guy swinging them. I was not prepared for the amount of abuse [...]

Traveling down in Raleigh, NC so I figured I would turn to the one device that has proven accurate any time I have ever traveled - the Neverlost GPS system from Hertz. Unfortunately Hertz was out of cars today so I had to rent from National. I reserved their answer to the Neverlost [...]

I took a walk down the Strip today and took a bunch of pictures at some of the sites. Mostly buildings. It was a long walk interrupted by numerous stops in Casinos along the way. I walked from Mandalay Bay to the Fashion Mall and then back. A long walk. [...]
